KUALA LUMPUR, March 31 \u2014 Newly-engaged actress-singer Bella Astilah took to the kitchen this Raya to treat fianc\u00e9 and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, to a home-cooked favourite: nasi ayam, or chicken rice.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old Bella shared how she cooked the dish from scratch in a Facebook reel on today, just three days after the couple announced their engagement.<\/p>\n
\u201cFinally got to post because so many things happened while editing. Original plan was to post on the third day of Raya, but so many challenges meant I had to start editing from scratch again, since I recorded and edited it myself. Sorry if it\u2019s a bit unclear. But you get it, right?\u201d she said in a caption accompanying the reel.<\/p>\n
But no cooking-from-scratch video is ever complete without the test makan, and the judge for this was no other than Syed Saddiq.<\/p>\n
His reaction spoke volumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eyes closed in sheer enjoyment as he ate with his hand, the 33-year-old looked to have savoured every bite of Bella\u2019s cooking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEleven out of 10,\u201d he declared, clearly impressed with the effort and taste.<\/p>\n
Fans quickly flooded the comments praising Bella\u2019s culinary skills on top of her beauty and playful jabs at Syed Saddiq.<\/p>\n
One Facebooker teased the politician known for keeping fit that if he were to eat Bella\u2019s cooking every day, he might \u201cend up rolling over soon!\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s romance has been closely followed since they were first paired as brand ambassadors in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What began as a professional collaboration soon evolved into a friendship, and ultimately, a relationship that captured the public\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n
They made their engagement official on March 28 with a picturesque proposal on Mount Kinabalu, where Syed Saddiq popped the question and Bella said yes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
